Hungry Autumn (1974): cast, story & where to watch
1974 · Film
Released in 1974, Hungry Autumn is a notable film directed by Goutam Ghose.
What it’s about. Ghose’s first major film is a documentary about the 1974 Bengal famine, analysing how famines come about and chronicling their impact in the cities and the villages of India. Made on a Paillard Bolex by a group calling itself the ‘Joris Ivens collective’, it was one of the first Indian documentaries to face censorship under the Emergency. Much of the footage reflects Ghose’s preoccupation, later developed in his features, with people surviving on the margins of society.
